No.

Probably the only way would be to run fuel with no oil in it at all. Then watch as your motor seizes.

1. switch to electric power.
2. switch to a spark-ignited gasoline engine. Much less mess.
3. use a Pitts type muffler, helps a lot shooting the exhaust down under.
4. fly gliders.
5. stick to a flight simulator.

In addition, there is a thread about using a mix of gasoline and glow fuel. You might check that out. I didn't read it all, to see if the mess is reduced. I prefer method 2, above.

Good luck,

Just part of the game. Clean up your airplane after every flight with a good cleaner. Make sure your cleaner has no ammonia as this will mess up the glue on the monokote causing bubbles.

Yes
Uh... No

Not much you can do. As you've seen, a deverter can help, but it's not 100%

4-strokes and gassers are a LOT less messy.

Also the design of the plane can make a difference, One plane may not collect as much as another.

Bottom line, if you don't like to clean oil off your plane, you'll need to go electric or switch hobbies
